Mrs. Huo is a Crybaby - Chapter 1084:

Chapter 1084: Only Pay Attention To Her?

Translator: Yunyi
Huo Tian was almost overflowing with sadness. She asked in confusion, “Why is there so much malice in people?”

“You should be asking why people’s malice on the internet is magnified infinitely.”

In reality, there were many people who could only attack others online. Other than the keyboard, they had nothing.

“I’m done eating. You take your time to eat.”

Song Yaoyao put down her chopsticks and left the dining room.

!!

Huo Tian followed Song Yaoyao’s back with a complicated look in his eyes. It was the first time he felt the difference between her and Song Yaoyao. Song Yaoyao was only two years older than her, but she already understood so much.

“I seem to understand why Uncle likes you…”

Although she couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was, a girl like this, regardless of her preconceived notions, seemed to be very likable.

“Huo Tian?”

Huo Tian sat in the dining room in a daze. The soup in the bowl had become mushy because of her unintentional stirring.

Suddenly, a slightly surprised voice sounded, pulling Huo Tian back to reality.

The young man in front of her was wearing straight suit pants and a simple and clean shirt. He was handsome with chiseled features. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him as if he did not understand why she would appear here.

“Brother Ningxi.”

Huo Tian wiped her tears and stood up.

“Have you been crying?”

One had to know that back when Grandfather Huo spoiled her, even Huo Ningxi had to give her a bit of leeway. This Eldest Miss had been spoiled to the point of being arrogant and willful. Everyone in her family viewed her as the best weapon to curry favor with the Huo Family’s direct descendants. As long as it was not too excessive, they would do everything in their power to satisfy her.

Thus, Huo Tian had probably never suffered a setback before. The biggest setback in her life was falling at Song Yaoyao’s feet.

She replied with a muffled ‘mm’ and asked, “Brother Ningxi, did you just come back? Aren’t you living in the old manor now?” Huo Tian had not seen Huo Ningxi since she came back.

Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed across Huo Ningxi’s eyes. “I moved near the company because of work.”

“Oh, I see…”

Huo Tian was listless as she replied casually.

Huo Ningxi could tell at a glance that the food in front of her had not been touched, and the soup was mushy. “Hurry up and eat. It won’t be good if the food gets cold. I’ll go upstairs and get something.” After saying this, he turned around.

Huo Tian felt a little wronged when she saw this. “Brother Ningxi, aren’t you going to ask me why I’m crying?” In this country, there was not even a single person who cared about her. Not only was she threatened by her uncle, but she was also oppressed by Song Yaoyao.

“Why?” Huo Ningxi followed her lead and asked.

“What if I say that Song Yaoyao is bullying me? Will you help me, Brother Ningxi?” Huo Tian asked on purpose.

Huo Ningxi didn’t even think about it and laughed. “I won’t.”

An answer without hesitation or a single thought came out of his mouth, making Huo Tian widen her eyes. She couldn’t believe her ears.

The people of the Huo Family were possessed, weren’t they?

The truth was, she had asked this on purpose, but she no longer disliked Song Yaoyao.

Seeing Huo Ningxi walk out of the dining room with his long legs, she looked at the cold dishes in front of her with disgust and quickly chased after him.

“Brother Ningxi, do you really trust Song Yaoyao that much? I’m really suspicious whether she’s placed a curse on you all.” This was the feeling she got after returning to Huo Manor for just a short day.

It was so ridiculous that she could not even speak.

“She’s not that bored.” Huo Ningxi did not even turn his head, but he answered firmly, “Also, don’t say such things anymore.”

After saying this, he suddenly paused and thought back on a certain moment in time.

Back then, he had asked the same question as Huo Tian, and even wanted to find a priest to exorcise the evil. Now that he thought about it, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Ha…” he lowered his head and laughed at himself.

Song Yaoyao had indeed not done anything. They were the ones who had been possessed and cursed themselves.

Huo Tian could hear the warning and coldness in Huo Ningxi’s tone. She pursed her lips and said, “Fine, I understand that she’s the boss of this household, okay?”

“What are you doing back in the country?”

Huo Tian pouted, “Brother Ningxi, do you live in the mountains? Or are you automatically blocking my news? I’ve been quite popular recently. How could you not know anything? Or do you only see Song Yaoyao in your eyes?”

“You—”

Huo Ningxi pursed his lips, and his Adam’s apple moved unconsciously.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” he reprimanded in a low voice.

“It is what it is.” Huo Tian did not realize anything, and said casually, “Your hearts are all filled with Song Yaoyao. She eats and drinks whatever she wants. Whether she’s cold or hot, in the eyes of the family, they’re all important events. Even though I’ve only moved back to the manor for less than a day, I’ve witnessed so much ridiculousness, especially from Small Uncle!”

She opened her mouth to complain but was stopped by Huo Ningxi.

“Yaoyao is Uncle’s future wife. It’s only right that he dotes on his wife. Don’t say such things anymore, I don’t want to hear it.”

Huo Ningxi went upstairs. He didn’t want to hear anything about how Huo Yunque and Song Yaoyao were in love, even though he knew it.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Huo Tian felt that Huo Ningxi had changed. “Brother Ningxi, you’ve changed a lot.”

Huo Ningxi rarely wore formal clothes in the past. Every time she returned to China, he would always wear sportswear. Now that he was wearing a suit, Huo Tian even thought that she saw her uncle in him. He had begun to follow in his steps, even if it was just a little.

“People change.”

“Huo Ningxi? Long time no see.”

The sound of the door opening interrupted Huo Tian’s words. Song Yaoyao came out of the study. She did not expect to meet Huo Ningxi in the corridor.

He had grown from a big boy to a man. Song Yaoyao was also surprised by his change for a moment. Then, she greeted him naturally, “Have you had lunch?”

“Not yet.”

Huo Ningxi’s gaze fell on Song Yaoyao’s face. Compared to him, she seemed to have not changed. Her face still had baby fat on it. Her chin was pointed and her facial features were small and delicate. When she smiled, she was as beautiful as a blooming begonia flower. Looking at her, one would think that time had never changed. It was still the same as when they were in high school.

In reality, the two of them would be sophomores next semester.

“Do you want to eat something? Huo Tian, get the kitchen to prepare some food.”

Huo Ningxi’s lips moved slightly. He had not been back for so long that he felt like he was a stranger here. “No, I-I saw that there were many dishes on the table just now. I’ll just go down and have something to eat later.”

“So casual?” Song Yaoyao was stunned. “This doesn’t sound like you, Young Master Huo.”

Huo Ningxi touched his nose and looked down, his pupils suddenly constricting.

“Your arm…” his heart suddenly tightened, as if an invisible hand was gripping it; even breathing felt difficult. If he could, he would be willing to take her place.
